As a die-hard horror and baking enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for Prime Video’s upcoming special, “Killer Cakes.” With its star-studded lineup featuring Matthew Lillard, Danielle Harris, and Nikk Alcaraz, this competition is sure to be a spine-tingling delight. The prospect of watching talented bakers unleash their twisted imaginations to create cakes that could give nightmares a run for their money is simply too enticing.


Blumhouse Productions, known for producing horror films like “M3GAN” and the “Insidious” series, is diving into the world of Halloween baking shows with a spooky twist. Amazon Prime Video revealed on Monday that they have commissioned “Killer Cakes”, a competition baking show with a scary theme, produced by Jason Blum and created by the team behind “Cake Boss”. Actor Matthew Lillard, famous for his roles in “Scream” (1996) and “Five Nights at Freddy’s” (2023), will host this gory-themed show. The contestants’ creations will be judged by Scream Queen Danielle Harris, a veteran of the “Halloween” franchise, and Nikk Alcaraz, an artist known for experimental food and cookbooks like “Peculiar Baking”.

On October 8th, a unique competition series, airing simultaneously across over 240 countries on Amazon Prime Video, presents terrifyingly talented bakers facing off in gruesome challenges. These contestants collaborate with top Hollywood special effects artists to bring their darkest fantasies to life through cakes that are so grotesque, unsettling, and realistic, they could give you nightmares.
